The second life of tires: installations by a South Korean craftsman

South Korean sculptor Ji Yong Ho draws attention to environmental issues with his work. The peculiarity of Gee's creations lies in the unusual nature of the material. The sculptures are made from car and bicycle tires. The artist independently collects them in landfills. The craftsman wields rubber so masterfully that his works impress with the ideality of forms.

At the heart of the "rubber" sculptures is a metal frame. On top of it is a layer of wood and foam. Thus, the master achieves the required volume. From above, Ji covers the workpiece with rubber from tires, creating the illusion of skin.



It takes up to 12 weeks to work on each of his creations of sculptures. The rubber used for sculptures has a different texture and thickness. So, for example, animal heads are made from bicycle tires, animal limbs are made from motorcycle and car tires, and bodies are made from tractor tires.

The installations of the master are real works of art. Most often, the artist creates realistic animals. But there are also fantastic creatures among his works, as if from the cyber universe.



Ji Yong Ho's work is exhibited in contemporary art galleries. But they are also purchased to create an unusual landscape design.

On our website, the inventory that is necessary for ennoblement of a personal plot is presented in the "Garden, kitchen garden" section.
